Things That Don't Exist On The Internet.

The internet is known for having almost everything you wanted and never wanted to see. Every now and then I come across something that does not exist on the internet. Usually this is because what I am searching for is too obscure. Sometimes though, there is no good reason, which is very strange to me.

Anyway, if someone can find a clip of the Mike Myers Lord of the Dance Parody he did on the 1997 MTV Movie Awards that would be super. It is hillarious and don't just take my word for it...take the bastion of credibility that is VH1 as it was voted number 42 out of the 100 moments that rocked tv.

New...post?

What? What is going on here? I seem to be posting something (not really TO anyone since no one reads this anymore)....Yep. I am definitely posting something...

So what has happened in the past 10 months since my last post? Many things. Now, of course I don't remember much (as I didn't post about it) but I left a bunch of notes in my brain telling me things happened. I don't leave very specific brain notes and I don't even feel like reading many of them. From what I can foggily remember and feel like mentioning, I made a cool senior design project (mDiet rules #1), graduated college, failed in going to europe (no one would go with me), got older by a year, obtained a large free bar for the old house, slacked around for a few months happily, lived on South Street, got a job, moved to Baltimore, dressed up as Hannibal from the A-Team for halloween, got into Hopkins grad school, obtained a sweet Garmin Nuvi GPS for christmas (the best object I own by far; I almost feel normal now in terms of directions), went to NYC for New Years, ate nachoes at Qdoba yesterday, and killed a bum.

Except for that last thing (which is only real in a pseudo-theory), the year was good and I feel somewhat different (read: older, wiser and lamer) than I did a year ago. Yes, as you may be asking, there are a few important/funny things I did not mention but hey, I don't want the internet knowing absolutely everything about me and I like to leave cryptic notes for myself in the future....(hello future self, did you ever find that golden penny you had?).

On another note, this blog does serve its' purpose. This new years I had wondered what I did the previous year and without this blog I would have never remembered. According to this post, I did nothing but win a 12$ scratch off. Good for me.

So, anyway, I had not planned on posting to this blog anymore but plans are for suckers. Maybe I will post sporadically now.

Ramble On.

Myspace Blows.

I was looking at some myspace profiles recently and was amazed at how horrible the design of the pages were. It reminds me of the days when the internet was just becomming popular and people were trying to make "homepages", and failing miserably. Take a look at this and tell me it doesn't make your mind numb. At least its good to see many people, who otherwise wouldn't really know what a computer was, trying to understand web technology. That might sound a little snobby but fuck that and you for thinking it. And that might sound a little angry but yeah, I think it was.

Why does it seem no one else notices how unreadable some of the pages are? Anyway, as for myspace itself, I refuse to use it for as long as I can. As with thefacebook.com, I find it creepy. At least with thefacebook, only college people can find me. I guess the fact that I'm thinking about it means I will soon be somewhere on myspace. Damnit. Well I will just have to make sure to use all fake info.

On an unrelated note, I just realized I took my sheets for my bed off to wash them, forgot about it, and now they are sitting downstairs next to the washing machine, still dirty. Crap.

On another unrelated note, who knew that when you pour a gallon of milk on someone it gets all crusty in your hair? I sure didn't. Good to know. Just for the sake of my memory, I shall explain further. We were playing some sort of card game with the eventual purpose of pouring milk on Mindy (we lost the cap to the milk and figured it had to be put to some good use). It was decided the only way she would let that happen was to risk having milk poured on ourselves as well. So a single card was handed out and the low card got the milk. I think Mindy actually left the game and Kristen unknowingly took her place and her card. Before she completely understood what was going on, she had the lowest card. The milk soon commenced.

Blogin.

For whatever reason, I havn't been in the mood to post much. Some interesting things from February (skip to the very bottom for just something exciting (and possibly fraudulent):

1) Tried to smoke some from a cigarette. I think I failed if thats possible.
2) Was hit by a drunk driver while in a cab with some friends late one night. No real damage to the cab but the whole thing was entertaining. The guy was reeeally drunk. I took pictures and video on my cellphone but nothing too exciting.
3) Had a few house parties in the good ol' house and realized the best parties seem to be ones with only liquor, girls, and gay men. The gay men bring the girls and provide no competition. Also, I do not remember much from said house parties. The next party I am determined to be somewhat sober so I can form some coherant memories.
4) Rediscovered my love (and addiction) for fruit snacks.
5) Slept with your mom.
6) Had fun at the filmings of new SweatyRobot videos.
7) Went to Delaware to buy cheap bountiful liquor, including Everclear(not avaliable in PA) to make jungle juice. It's a good idea.
8) Saw Brokeback Mountain (actually at the end of January). It was definately one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
9) Saw The Machinist starring Christian Bale (batman). Amazing how freaky thin he was for that movie.
10) Did many nerdy things.
11) Possibly saw Kirsten Dunst at a Cosi on UPenn's campus.
12) By habit, told a bum I had no change while actually playing with a bunch of useless change in my hands. Felt pretty dumb there.


And then, luckily, I dodged the bullet and spinning roundhoused the kidnapper, killing him instantly. I then grabbed the missing baby and returned him to his parents, who rewarded me with a plane ticket home to America.

Question.

Joanne solved the mystery and it was not from a movie. The song appeared in the television show, Veronica Mars. If she didn't get that, I don't think anyone would have solved the problem since I was thinking it was a movie. I hate having unsolved trivia like that bothering me.

------------
What movie had a sequence where the middle section of the song "Ventura Highway" by America was playing? 5 points to whoever figures it out. I think it was a somewhat serious movie like boogie nights or something with drugs....Oh, it might have been a motage possibly.

Listen Here (#2 song, the part that I remember is the end of the sample)

I Know Karate, Voodoo Too.

Havn't been doing much of the ol' postin' lately. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe not. In any case, let's see if I can describe some current happenings...well, one thing, I'm currently sick for the first time in at least a year. Didn't stop me from going to Baltimore last weekend to visit old roommate Brian and anyone else I came across. Things from this weekend:

1) Drank large quantities of beer at a fish market. Also stole birthday cake at fish market.

I practically had to chug both of these since everyone left the fish market after we arrived (coincidence).

2) While talking to a group of girls later that eve I began introducing Brian but was interrupted by one of the girls who already knew everything about him. She was best friends with many people Brian knew from college and actually had been to his current house at one time. Brian did not recognize her. Hah, awkward.
3) Realized the Japanese people are a really weird people while playing the addictive game "We Love Katamari."
4) Had one of the more disgusting dinners ever by ordering an "Onion Loaf". I enjoy trying new things and had never heard of such a thing. Supposedly it was good so I ordered it. This is what I got:

Holy greasy jesus!

It was deep fried onions deep fried together into a solid block of friedness, with dipping sauce. I picked it apart and ate some of it. Similar to a blooming onion from the outback restaurant. Luckily for me, the waitress noticed my discontent and didn't charge me for it. The bad part about free crappy food? Nothing.

Other events not related to this weekend that I have just not posted about yet:
1) Drunkenly sang "I'm gonna be (500 miles)" by the Proclaimers karaoke style at some bar and LOST the 4 minutes long video of it taken on my phone. Very unfortunate.
2) Hungover the next morn, I went to the Philadelphia Zoo for my mom's brithday where I:
a) Failed at grabbing a peacock but did manage to get a large blue bird in a headlock.
(touched a large blue bird)
b) Punched a two toed sloth.
(touched a two toed sloth)
c) High fived a spider monkey.
(high fived a spider monkey)

Those peacocks are wiley little things.

Films.

Friends from http://www.sweatyrobot.com/ have made two hillarious short films, the first being Future Music 2012, already posted below. The second film, Happy Birthday Harris Malden is, in my opinion, even more funny. Both have been submitted to an Independant Film Channel contest at http://medialab.ifc.com

Go to the IFC webpage, register, then watch and vote highly for those two films (or lowly for every other film i guess). I would like to see them win and get their stuff on television. Visit Sweaty Robot also, new videos are constantly being made.

Happy Birthday Harris Malden

Future Music 2012

Oh, see if you can spot me in the Harris Malden video...I'll give you a hint; I am right behind him drinking a beer at the mass party scenes. That's not really a hint as much exact directions but whatever.

Apparently, I'm a Genius.

"An interesting scientifically test shows that smarter people actually remember less details. They tend to focus on what's essential."

So says this study

I can barely remember what I did yesterday.
